Our partnership with Nick Hern Books, who have published many of the winning plays, enable the prize winning plays to have a far wider reach. To date, they’ve published more than a dozen Prize-winners, and in many cases have gone on to publish their subsequent work at the Royal Exchange and elsewhere. Through licensing of the Bruntwood Prize-winning plays for amateur performance, they’ve also helped them enjoy an ongoing life at local community theatres, youth theatres, schools, colleges, drama schools and universities around the world.

Nick Hern Books is proud to have been the Publishing Partners of the Bruntwood Prize since its inception in 2005, publishing the plays that go on to receive productions – and they’re delighted to continue this relationship in 2019.
